The best writing is yours

If you want different results, DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY
So last fall, I introduced you to a fellow blogger I admire, not the least because he’s a killer writer. He also happens to know what reporters and agents want (which is helpful when you have a book to launch). Yeah, Guy Bergstrom. He guest posts here from time to time. But now, he’s hanging […]

It’s time to reclaim a piece of your summer before it’s over. Specifically, one hour of love and devotion (suntan lotion?) for your words. […]
She didn’t make excuses. Neither should you.

In the wake of her death, her name is trending across social media, proving writers and poets alike can be household names. People I didn’t know as readers posted about her today, making me realize how incredible […]
